it all adds to the deficit. they have got to go out there this is all on the surface of tax cuts for the super wealthy. where i come from, we have one of the highest per-capita incomes in the nation. what i found out is wealthy people are just as patriotic as poor folks. they are just as decent and just as good. they are not asking for these tax cuts. that me give you an example. by extending the bush tax cuts for the wealthy, $500 billion goes to 120,000 families. $500 billion. a half a trillion dollars. how can that the right? the average income of those folks is $8.4 million the year. they do not need a tax cut. that what? middle-class families need a handout. they need a bit of help. [cheers and applause] a voted against extending the middle class tax cuts permanently. the voted against it. why? because they were holding it hostage to make sure they could continue the tax cuts i just mentioned. it almost sounds unbelievable. on top of the, how romney has another tax cut, costing the economy $1.70 trillion. g
